4 Month-Old -Kitten, Infrequent Vomiting

Hiya

i have a 4 and a half month old kitten who is very healthy and happy but i woke up this morning and he had been sick, quite a large amount. This has happened about 2 or 3 other times in the past month or so. he seems fine apart from that, so i'm not sure whether to take him to the vet. He has seen the vet within the last 3 weeks for jabs and she said he seemed healthy.
What do u think?

thanks alot :)

Hi, Hannah,

While it is unusual for cats that young to vomit, it is possible for it to happen and not be serious, especially if it is infrequently.

If he is bright and alert, running around and playing, eating and having normal bowel movements and urination, then he is mostly likely fine. Especially since he has seen the vet recently.

Perhaps the type of food he is eating doesn't agree with him. I would suggest trying something different just to found out if this could be the problem.

Thank you for writing,
